They had a date with fate in Casablanca!

Arguably one of the greatest movies ever produced, Casablanca is a romantic masterpiece. Humphrey Bogart takes the leading role in this "love will conquer all" movie that regularly makes it into any top ten list of films. Featuring the often-misquoted line "play it again Sam" this MGM title is a true classic. The magic of the movie lies in Bogart's understanding performance, Bergman's depiction of a torn lover and a supporting cast that includes Claude Rains as the police Chief. However, cinema history will always have a special place for Dooley Wilson's rendition of 'As Time Goes By'.

This Two-Disc Special Edition DVD features a breathtaking new digital transfer plus four hours of bonus materials including many newly discovered and never-before-seen extras. Among these special features are the two documentaries hosted by Bacall; interviews with Stephen Bogart and Bergman's daughters, Pia Lindstom and Isabella Rossellini; ten minutes of newly-found deleted scenes and outtakes; TV and radio shows inspired by the film; a cartoon take-off; scoring sessions; audio program; vintage trailers and more.

Starring Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Paul Henreid, Sidney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Humphrey Bogart, Dooley Wilson, Marcel Dalio, Joy Page and Leonid Kinskey.

Directed by Michael Curtiz.
